I Asked a Harry Winston Employee! Ring Care Tips to Do at Home That Are Just Like in the Store ♡

2019.06.27 published

Ring care is important!

Are you taking care of your wedding ring or engagement ring with cleaning and maintenance??

To be honest, I’ve never really done anything like that.

I kept thinking, “It’s been a while since I bought it, so I’d like to get it cleaned… but even though the store offers it for free, Ginza is far and crowded…” and I kept missing the opportunity.

But!

Recently, while I was hanging out with a friend,

she said, “I spilled salsa on my ring when I was eating tacos yesterday! The diamond must be dirty, right?! I want to take it to the shop to get it cleaned…!!!! Will you come with me?”

This made me really interested in the ring cleaning! It was a perfect opportunity, so I went to Harry Winston with her♡

The diamond shines brilliantly!

As soon as I entered the Harry Winston store, I told the staff, “I want to get my ring cleaned,” and without needing to show any warranty, they immediately responded, “Yes! We’ll take it for you. Please have a seat here and wait.” After about three minutes of waiting…

The diamond returned to me sparkling with a rainbow of colors, visibly different from just a few minutes ago, and I was amazed!!

While I never thought my friend’s engagement ring diamond lacked sparkle or was dirty, it’s hard to notice negative aspects. However, the clear positive difference was immediately obvious.

Honestly, it sparkled so much more, and I felt like the stone looked even bigger.

Cleaning methods are actually the same at both the shop and at home!

The staff at Harry Winston explained that the cleaning method is simply applying detergent, brushing it, and rinsing it off.

“Diamonds tend to attract oil, so in daily life, natural oils, hand creams, and cosmetics can dull the surface. Therefore, you can use a household dishwashing detergent on a toothbrush to gently scrub it. Just rinse it off with water, and you can keep it clean.

Diamonds are the hardest gemstones on Earth. They won’t chip or break easily, so you can handle them with peace of mind.”

I learned this from them.

Furthermore,

they mentioned, “Actually, the cleaning we do at the store is just applying detergent and brushing, which is the same as what you can do at home. So, while it’s fine to come to the store, you should feel free to take care of your diamond more regularly at home.”

I was surprised because I imagined that cleaning at the store involved using machines like ultrasonic cleaners, similar to an optical shop!

You’ll see a noticeable difference even if you try it at home!

I was shocked by how beautiful my friend’s ring looked after cleaning, so when I got home, I quickly tried cleaning my own ring using dishwashing detergent (Joy) and a toothbrush.

I cleaned it and wiped it with a towel.

It took less than 30 seconds, but the diamond's brightness changed completely before and after!

I was so impressed that I showed my husband, saying, “Look! This is what I learned at Harry Winston!” He responded, “Wow! It’s so different! It’s shining!” so he understood the transformation, haha.

I plan to do this regularly from now on.

According to the staff at Harry Winston,

“Especially girls pay close attention to diamonds, so if you clean your ring before meeting up with friends, it will look even prettier♡”

they said!

There may be recommended care methods that differ by brand, but the “Harry Winston way of ring cleaning” is extremely simple and very effective.

Everyone should give it a try!＊
